Congrats! -
Gall bladder is a good possibility. I just had mine urgently removed. It frequently is an issue with rapid weight loss of any type, not just gastric banding.

My dr insists that I'm in the green zone, I'm skeptical
can_do replied to donna12's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've had good results since my banding four months ago. Since my third fill, I've been completely satisfied after eating my small meals with no hunger or craving for at least four hours. I have NEVER been stuck or vomited. There is nothing I cannot eat provided I chew well and follow the rules. I've lost 40 pounds. I agree with B-52. Look at the chart and let that be your guide. You can do this! -
First Fill in a few hours
can_do replied to jaxjen11's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My surgery was 2/4/13. I've had three fills to get to my green zone. (Totally painless BTW) I really don't have restriction, rather satiation for four or more hours, where I feel no hunger and really don't think about food. In four months, I'm down about 40 pounds. -

Congratulations on your successful journey! -
I also have a 14cc band. I'm at 5.5cc of fill now and that put me in the green zone. My surgery was 2/7/2013 and I'm approaching a 40 pound loss.

Pain when taking deep breath in
can_do replied to Dlaurel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The discomfort I had in my chest, especially when breathing deep was COMPLETELY gone somewhere between day 10 and 14. -
Pain when taking deep breath in
can_do replied to Dlaurel's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My port area didn't settle down to a completely, normal pain free state for more than 6 weeks. It improved, however, each day. Hang in there. This is normal and things will get better. You had major surgery and it takes time for your body to completely heal. -
Burning sensation, pain in my stomach, burning skin, shoulder wont let up
can_do replied to balbuquerque's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
My port area was sore for nearly two months. The burning, I also had on and off for about the same time. That's from nerves being cur when the incisions are made. It WILL go away. You'll feel so different in a few weeks. Hang in there. I felt so much different at two months post-op from the way I felt at one month out. -
Thanks, Megan. Keep up the good work.

Megan, I had my surgery on February 4th. I chose to go all the way to Englewood Hospital because I felt I wanted very experienced surgeons. I'm pleased, so far, with everything. I see you've done very well! Congratulations.

I'm in Knowlton Township, Columbia, just south of Blairstown.

I'm in Warren County, out near the PA border. I did however, travel to Engelwood Hopsital to have my surgery done by Dr. Pucci, because I felt he and his partners are extremely experienced. I had a great experience and continue my follow up with them in their Denville office. I couldn't be happier with them and the office staff. I'll pray that everything goes smoothly for you. Send me a private message if you want to stay in touch.

You know, they may have already done the submission. Mine was sent the day I went for my psych and nutrition eval. Maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised on Monday.
-
My doctor's office staff took care of all of it. They were familiar with NJ Direct and knew the routine. I also have hypertension, bad knees and other co-morbidities. They required nothing else from me except the psych and nutrition evals. Where are you located? Who's doing your surgery?
-
I also have NJ Direct. I was approved in several days from the time the office sent in the required documentation. From my very first consultation with the surgeon to my surgery was about 6 weeks total.
